chapter ten
i breathe you in
and i can't help
but exhale love
-gemma troy
Monday rolls around, and Diaphanous is glad that she only has lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Although she has the chance to sleep in, she suddenly remembers her plans for today. She shoots up out of bed and rushes to the bathroom.
Yesterday Diaphanous had mustered up a surprising amount of confidence and decided to ask Odessa to hang out somewhere! They were going to sit by the park and get to know each other. Diaphanous was hoping that by the end of it Odessa would like to hang out another time.
She dresses in a floral dress and her white converse, hoping that she looks good. She adds in gold accessories then spritzes on a small amount of her perfume. Grabbing her purse and her phone, she rushes out into the kitchen hoping she isn't late, only to see that she is ready two hours early. She sighs and goes ahead to prepare a cup of coffee to get ahead and work on some assignments beforehand.
As it seems like four hours later, Diaphanous finally gets up, refreshes, and heads out of her apartment. Odessa had offered to pick her up, but Diaphanous feared that Odessa would see what kind of state she lives in. She could have gone in Nico's car, but he was away for the week, touring a museum in another state for his class field trip.
She quickly walks into her grocery store and grabs a few boxes of berries, that were thankfully still on sale, and buys them to put into her tote bag, along with her blanket. She passes by the flower stand once again, and decides to buy a single pink rose for Odessa. Never go empty handed, right?
